Jeff Probst Teases Survivor: Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty

Survivor is taking its social experiment concept to a new level in Season 28, dividing the 18 contestants into three tribes — Brawn, Brains and Beauty — based on the quality they use most in their daily lives. The decision to divide the players as such was made after the cast of Survivor: Cagayan had already been selected and producers noticed that most fell neatly into categories, according to host Jeff Probst.

“The question it poses is, which of these qualities is the most important? And can you get by with only one of these, or do you need a blend of all three?” Probst tells TVGuide.com.
